A cone has a height of #6 cm# and its base has a radius of #8 cm#. If the cone is horizontally cut into two segments #5 cm# from the base, what would the surface area of the bottom segment be?
1 Answer
Surface Area of the bottom segment
Explanation:
After the cone has been cut horizontally 5 cm from the base, there will be a smaller cone on top with a height of 1 cm. We need to determine the radius
By ratio and proportion
We now calculate the surface area
Compute now the surface area
God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
